Why Costco Customers Like Refueling at Costco

Costco is famous for low prices at the gas pump. For customers, it's worth going out of the way to refuel to save as much as 60 to 70 cents per gallon compared to other stations.

The best way to fill up at Costco is to become a warehouse club member, and membership typically costs $60 a year. Non-members can purchase fuel using a Costco Shop Card, a kind of gift card non-members can use to buy fuel and other goods at the warehouse store.

As hours shrink and prices increase everywhere else, it's nice to see at least one company is making things easier on its customers.
